Unexpected Gourmet

Last night was quite possibly the yummiest meal of my life.

That includes meals that I have eaten in very fancy restaurants, on my cruise, and in France.

But this meal was fairly inexpensive, took me about 45 minutes from fridge to table and was extremely healthy. I think this is breaking some kind of unwritten law. :)

So what did I make?

Baked Alaskan Salmon and Fresh Green Beans. The salmon recipe was developed by my friend Robert, and I will ask his permission to post it here. I can tell you that it involved the perfect balance of olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt & pepper and one other secret ingredient. The excess oil that dripped off the fish was so good that Michael and I ate several pieces of toasted whole wheat bread each just to sop it up. We couldn't stop!

The green bean recipe I found on Pioneer Woman's website. Quite a discovery--both the beans and the website. I will be visiting there again. We had a little hiccup getting the liquid to evaporate, but even so, it was caramel-y sweet.

Also, I have a new goal of bringing my camera into the kitchen--just in case! :)

Happy Friday my friends.
